James River Writers
CONFERENCE 2007

Electrify Your Writing

Friday and Saturday, September 28-29, 2007
at the
Library of Virginia

An exciting, entertaining, educational and intimate two-day conference brought writers, editors, and agents together for an insider's look at the art and the business of the writing life. What are publishers looking for? How do you write a query letter? How do you grab a reader's attention, write a sex scene, find your voice, find time to write? JRW Conference 2007 explored these questions and more, with seasoned authors, experienced editors, and always lively discussions.
